And Steve was not alone in his circus stunt, for several other fellows were making a hasty and undignified exit at the same time, Bandy-legs and Toby Jucklin, for instance. Max somehow managed to get on his feet without so much scrambling; and as for Obed, as he had been sleeping on the cot closer to the fire, they could already see him hastily pulling on some clothes.
When he heard of several little camping experiences which had befallen Toby Jucklin and his chums, the trapper had struck up a warm friendship with the boy who seemed to be the natural leader of the lot, Max Hastings. Well, they had been writing back and forth this long time. Eagerly had the boys planned a visit to the North Woods, and bent all their energies toward accomplishing that result.
When age comes on apace there is nothing more inspiring than to see the young and the vigorous gathered about us. And it is thus that the evening of live is brightened. Henry, pass the bread to Mr. Jucklin, and the peas, the very first of this backward season, I assure you. Mr. Hawes, can you recall the face of your noble grandfather?" "No, General; he died many years before I can remember."
He rode close to me, reached over and put his hand on my arm. "Mr. Hawes," he said, leaning toward me, and in the moonlight his face was ghastly, "Mr. Hawes, Alf Jucklin did not kill Dan Stuart." "What!" I cried, bringing my horse to a stand-still and seizing his bridle-rein. "Let us be perfectly calm now, and I'll tell you all about it. Turn loose my bridle-rein and let us ride on slowly."
It makes me shudder every time I meet a man that I know, and I'd bet a horse that if I was to meet a cross-eyed feller I'd fight him. If Alf gits clear he can come to us. And you I'm sorry you have decided to go in with Conkwright, for I wanted you to come with Alf." "I will come. Nothing shall stand in the way. Mr. Jucklin, have you noticed " "Yes, I've noticed everything. And it's all right.
"Guinea told me what you wanted, and sir, you can have it, though I tell you right now that it ain't worth much." "Will you take two hundred dollars?" "Not from you, Bill. You may have the house and the path and the spring and the strip of moss, for if you haven't earned that and more " "Hold on, Mr. Jucklin. I want the property made over to me in regular form when I have paid you for it.
It was not later than eight-twenty in the evening when the two boys met down in front of the hardware store, where a brilliant light burned all night long; so that the evening was young when Max caught the well-known voice of Toby Jucklin at the other end of the wire. Toby stuttered, at times, fearfully.
Hawes, mind retiring?" "They are goin' to stay here, sir," the old man replied, rolling up his sleeves. "All right, just as you will, sir. Mr. Jucklin, years ago we entered into an arrangement " "And I have cursed myself ever since!" the old man exclaimed. "Just wait until I get through, if you please.
Jucklin, can I speak to you in private?" he asked, bowing to the women. "No. What you've got to say, out with it here." "I would rather say it in private. Why, what's the matter with your hands?" "It was to a finish, sir, and let what you say be to a finish, even if it is three times as bloody." "Oh, I have come out of no hard feelings, sir. Ladies, would you and our friend, Mr.
"Go on to bed, and don't be standing around this time of night." Alf and I, leaving the old man at the bars, went to the house. "Oh, I'm so glad you've all got back," said Mrs. Jucklin, striving to be calm, but whimpering. "Are you sure that you are all safe and sound?" Guinea began to laugh. "Of course, they are, mother, don't you see?" "But what's your father still standin' out yonder for?
